I am 18 years old, can I have All on 4 dental implants to replace my broken teeth?

Q.
I Absolutely hate my teeth, I’m always ashamed to smile or talk around people because I don’t want them to see my teeth. I have had 17 fillings in 14 different teeth. I’ve broken two of them into pieces and my dentist just stuck them back together with a filling. My teeth are extremely painful for anything hot or cold and I can hardly use metal silverware because it sends a shock directly to a nerve that was exposed before the metal filling in two separate teeth. Dental problems run in my family as is, my mother’s two bottom front teeth never grew in after she lost her baby teeth, and she now has full dentures at age 35 because of some bone disease that made them slowly fall out or something. My father’s teeth are all rotten and cavity infested, even though he brushes his teeth multiple times a day. I really don’t want to end up like that, and I want to fix the problem before it worsens to the same level as my parents. I want to be able to smile and speak confidently, and to be able to actually eat like a normal person. I was wondering if implants would be an option at my age, (18 years old) and if it is possible to have all of my teeth extracted and replaced with implants at the same time. I was looking at the clear choice website about the all-in-4 procedure. Thank you so much in advance for your help.

I think you’re too young to contemplate dental implants to replace all the teeth however replacement of 2-3 of the hopeless teeth could be possible. The first step is to find a local dentist who will be able to sort out your problems and to look at your diet in detail as it sounds like you may be eating too much sugar??
